House and Wilson are in the cafeteria. House talks about Mees' lines, so maybe it was heavy metal poisoning. Wilson says that House is addicted to puzzles.
Later, House has lured Emory's anger management group to meet in a different restaurant. He sneaks Emory out the back to where his ex-wife lives. House digs wood out of the patio table while Emory doesn't want to talk about how Drew looked. He eventually goes with "peaceful."
Chase and Taub are in Iris's room. The wallpaper is pink. Taub is familiar with Brazilians and can tell Chase didn't have one because he's not complaining enough. Chase admits that he only had visible bits waxed because he was going to be on television. And it aired two hours before, which is why he's willing to admit it now that no one can watch it. Taub mocks him a bit and plays with the Magic 8-Ball. Chase finds a false drawer in the dresser. There are love letters from Iris's boyfriend. And porn featuring torture, rape, and animals. Kids, here's a helpful tip: if you've got really horrifying porn in your house, take the labels off. Especially if you're already hiding it behind secret false panels. At least make it so nosy doctors can't immediately tell what you're into. Also, probably don't get your porn on DVDs in the first place, but you're probably way ahead of me on that one, what with it being 2011 and all.
Meanwhile, in Story B, House breaks into the ex-wife's house. Emory follows, looking awkward and uncomfortable. House roots through the kitchen. Emory drinks some booze. Then he takes a breath and goes into a bedroom. He sinks to his knees and looks at the doorjamb, where someone has painted over the marks that used to record Drew's height. House finds him looking through a box he found in the closet. There's a stuffed zebra and a plastic vampire-tooth thing that House says is filled with lead paint. Then there's the sound of a car pulling up, so House and Emory get out of there.
Iris tells Chase, Taub and her mother that she hasn't had sex. The mother doesn't buy it, what with the pregnancy. You can see how she has reason to be skeptical here. Iris says the torture porn is her boyfriend's. She just stores it for him because he can't keep it at home. The mother gets mad and demands to know what else she doesn't know. Iris says that the boy came to the hospital last night and told her to leave. She wouldn't and he hit her. Hence the bruises, which I guess actually are from physical trauma. But she won't talk to the police. And also her vision is getting weird. "It's getting hard to see. What the hell's happening to me?"
